Sales and intake

Every lead read, scored and routed before a rep sees it.

An AI lead qualification agent reads each inbound lead, enriches it from public sources, scores it against rules your team wrote, and routes or books it. The judgment calls stay with a person. The sorting does not.

Who it is for

Built for the team that does this by hand.

01

Sales teams where a rep spends the first hour of every day sorting form fills from job seekers and vendors

02

Firms whose inbound mixes buyers, students, partners and press, and where the wrong routing costs a day

03

Public-sector intake desks routing applications and requests to the right unit on the right form

What it does

Lead qualification agents, by the job.

Read

Reads every submission

Form fills, replies, chat transcripts and referral emails are parsed into one record: who, which company, what they asked for, and how they arrived.

Enrich

Enriches from public sources

Company size, sector, technology and hiring signals pulled from the company's own pages and the data vendors you already pay for, with the source kept beside every field.

Score

Scores against your rules

Fit, urgency and budget signals scored on rules written with you and stored where you can read them. A rule change is a document edit, never a retrain.

Route

Routes, books or declines

Qualified leads land in the CRM with the reasoning attached and a meeting offered. Poor fits get a courteous reply. Anything uncertain goes to a person.

How it is built

The build, in order.

Every system here is scoped as one bounded workflow with a written success metric and a kill threshold agreed before the build. The steps below are the ones specific to this one.

01

Map the intake

Every channel a lead can arrive through, the fields each one carries, and the rules your best rep applies without thinking. Written down, then reviewed by that rep.

02

Shadow mode

The agent scores four weeks of real leads beside your team. Disagreements are read one by one, and the rules move until the agent and the rep agree on the same leads.

03

Supervised go-live

The agent routes and drafts. A person approves replies and bookings. The approval rate tells you when to widen its authority, and by how much.

04

Measure against the baseline

Speed to first reply, qualified rate, meetings held and win rate by source, reported beside the numbers from before the agent existed.

In production at Strataigize

We run this ourselves.

Our own outbound engine qualifies every company on evidence before a person sees it: proof that it takes payments, an independent signal that it needs what we sell, and a contact that Canada's anti-spam law lets us use. A company that misses a gate is held with a written reason. The website's inline forms carry first-touch attribution into HubSpot the same way, so every lead arrives with the click that created it.

How to build an AI lead-gen system

Governance

What a person still approves.

  • A person approves every outbound reply and every booking until the approval rate earns wider autonomy
  • Every score carries its reasons and its sources, readable in the CRM record it was written to
  • Personal data moves under a written data flow, and nothing reaches a model provider your data agreement does not name

The rest of the posture is published on trust and security: client-granted access you can revoke, credentials in managed stores, an AI governance summary aligned to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, our subprocessors, and a DPA on request. We do not hold SOC 2 and we say so there.

Price

Published, not gated.

Pilot builds $25,000 to $60,000 fixed, production retainer from $8,000 per month. Every AI build starts with a $7,500 AI Opportunity Audit over two weeks that is credited toward the build if you proceed, and a pilot is one bounded workflow on your real data over 30 to 90 days with a written success metric and a kill threshold.

The full price list is on the pricing page, and the cost drivers, with the questions that expose a padded quote, are in how much AI agents cost in 2026.

Questions

Lead qualification agents, answered.

What is an AI lead qualification agent?
Software that reads each new lead, gathers the facts a rep would look up, scores the lead against rules your team wrote, and routes it to the right person or the right reply. It replaces the sorting, not the selling.
How is this different from lead scoring in HubSpot or Salesforce?
Native lead scoring adds points for fields and behaviours already in the CRM. An agent reads the free text, fetches what is missing from the company's own site and your data vendors, and explains each score in words. The two work together: the agent writes its score and reasons into the CRM fields you already report on.
What does an AI lead qualification agent cost?
A pilot that qualifies real leads on your real intake runs $25,000 to $60,000 fixed over 30 to 90 days, starting with a $7,500 AI Opportunity Audit credited toward the build. Running it afterwards is a production retainer from $8,000 per month, which covers monitoring, rule changes and expansion.
